Tracing annoymouse emails

Confusing?

If the annoying mouse is somewhat smart, they will use some proxy so their own IP will not show.

Here is the header from the email,

Return-Path: lillianeve@gmail.com

Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of lillianeve@gmail.com designates 2607:f8b0:4003:c06::231 as permitted sender) client-ip=2607:f8b0:4003:c06::231;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com;
dkim=pass header.i=@gmail.com;
spf=pass (google.com: domain of lillianeve@gmail.com designates 2607:f8b0:4003:c06::231 as permitted sender) smtp.mailfrom=lillianeve@gmail.com;

My question is how do you trace something through a proxy?

If you are using gmail, click on show original and show us the hole code or paste it on: http://www.ip2location.com/free/email-tracer

That webpage will tell you the IP, but, as @gr0und said, he might be using a proxy….

For checking if that IP is his IP and not the proxy’s one, you can use this page: http://whois.domaintools.com/.

That page will return you something like this:

(This is what returns when you type Google’s IP)

You can extract the data you need from there :p.

@L00PeR**: gr0und is OP. ;)

@gr0und**: The IP you mentioned is the one from google’s server. It won’t do you any good. And the fact that it’s a gmail address, makes it unlikely that the IP you want is mentioned anywhere.

There is also not much you can do when people are using a proxy.

But even if you would get the IP somehow, then what? What are you expecting to achieve with it?

I’m not sure what kind of mails that person send him, but if that person is insulting or impending him he could give the IP to the police.

Perhaps he should just go to the police then and let them figure out the IP. :p

Ha how am I op dloser?

They come into my spam box but they are so personalized its unreal. All I would like to achieve is to find out who is sending them. Is there a web bug I could attach that would reveal the true sender of these emails? Or do you think it is a lost cause?

Well if you are meaning to hack into the proxy server…. xD
You can try….

JOKE!!, PLEASE DON’T TRY…

And then sniffing the packets and finding the IP which is sending emails to your account… xD

I REPEAT, DON’T TRYYY!!! XD

Just talk with the police if that person disturbs you too much.

@gr0und: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=op

And yes, lost cause, no bugs.

Best information you have is the reply-to address and possible links that might be in the mail. But I doubt it’ll be of any use.

Spam is spam. Anything you (or someone else about you) put out there can and will be used.

You can also try doing some information gathering…
Which is the mail of that guy??
Try searching for a Facebook account, Linkedin, Twitter…. Which has a similar/identical name to the mail address.

I cant say it is harassment of any kind its just aroused my curiosity, this was th email that hit me the hardest with the thoughts as it reflected what had been going on up stairs:

“Its the exact right moment because it fits where you are now. Maybe if you had opened my emails a year ago it wouldn’t have made the same kind of sense to you. It happens to me all the time where I will be playing with an idea in my head or practicing a new perspective and I will see words that reflect that same idea in random advertisement or the tiniest snippet I hear from someone else’s conversation.”

I think I am just the one in a million sucker who has found something in spam email. Funny you don’t understand the power of these people till you fall for the trick your self.

Thanks for your suggestions with regards to sniffing the packets dude but I really don’t want to get in trouble with the 50.
